Horus was the God of the sky. He is featured as a man with the head of a hawk. It was believed that he was reborn in the body of the mortal pharoahs so he could influence to rule over Egypt. He was the son of Isis and Osiris and ruled over Egypt for most of the time that the gods walked the earth. During a battle with the evil god Seth it was believed that he lost his left. The eye was replaced with a golden one and has since come to be a spiritual and mathmatical symbol (the eye of Horus).
